* Note: Delta insist on keeping old fashion lever control on the infeed table. This might be fine for lumber yards, but home shops sometimes need to make very find cuts, just a few thousandths of an inch. The lever can not give you the precise control as dial can. (If you don't believe us, try it for yourself.)
